Formerly known as Spring Divisionals, KiwanisONE is…
OVATION. Celebrating the accomplishments of Kiwanis clubs in your Division.
NETWORKING. Getting to know your fellow Kiwanis members, learning what their clubs are doing, and sharing success stories … and the not-so-successful stories. And food!
EDUCATION. Education for your club members whether they are officers or not.
This is not limited to club officers — all members are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the roundtables, breakout sessions, workshops, and keynote speakers. And, in the Ovations portion of the day, your clubs will be recognized for service achieved in 2025-26.
